Splunk Named a 2020 Gartner Peer Insights Customers' Choice for Security Information Event Management (SIEM)

Security teams have had it tough. They’ve been on the front lines, identifying, analyzing and mitigating incursions against their organization. Over the years, the barrage of cloud and on-premises vulnerabilities has proliferated, increasing the volume of alerts teams manage every single day, while the gap in the skills shortage has not improved.  Before, teams could only rely on legacy SIEM solutions. They experienced slow investigations, scalability issues and closed ecosystems. Making an already challenging job even more difficult. 

Splunk recognized the immense challenges that security teams faced and in response,  pioneered the modern, analytics-driven SIEM in the Cloud and on-premises. We have continuously focused on innovation, helping our customers modernize their security operations; empowering customers to turn data into detections, and insights into actions, across all security use cases, teams, and functions.

That’s why we’re honored that our customers chose us as a 2020 Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice for Security Information Event Management (SIEM). From the beginning our customers' needs have been at the core of what we do, their recognition is the basis for this award and that’s what makes it so meaningful. Gartner Peer Insights Customers’ Choice in SIEM is a recognition of vendors chosen by verified end users, determined by the number of reviews and overall user ratings. Here are some statements our customers shared about us:

“Splunk is a Leader in this industry — data analytics and big data is one of their recent solutions, and Enterprise Security (ES) can help you collect and correlate events in your environment to identify incidents that need immediate attention.” — Sr. Cybersecurity - Endpoint Administration in Healthcare

“Splunk ES is the leading SIEM solution in the market because of its flexibility and complex correlation searches. I worked on Splunk ES for more than a year, and it gives you the options to customize queries for complex correlation rules for SOC operations.” — Security Analyst in the Services Industry

“Splunk Enterprise Security can be used across your network to monitor data generated in real-time. Event-based alerts and queries of logs can be customized per your organization’s needs. Splunk has an amazing dashboard that can give the user a holistic view of data. It produces graphical representations like charts, graphs and tables, for clients.

Earlier this year, Splunk also received research recognition and was thrilled to be named a Leader for the seventh time in a row by Gartner in the 2020 Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), with the highest overall position in “Ability to Execute” two times in a row. We believe our placement in the Leaders quadrant reflects our ongoing commitment to customer success and illustrates our dedication to understanding the needs of our customers. 

We are proud of the recognition from leading industry analysts and our customers. To us, both distinctions embody the trust customers place in us every day to help safeguard their most valuable possessions: data. We look forward to continuing to push boundaries of what’s possible in Security Information Event Management (SIEM), together.
